“Everyone in the CVCRC family is excited about welcoming Estate into our wholesale operation”, said Dean McAthie, President & CEO of Carmel Roasters, Inc. “We look forward to offering CVCRC’s wholesale customers access to Estate’s top quality non-organic line of roasts and sharing our signature organic line with our new Estate wholesale customers.”

Founded in 1996, Estate has a history of bringing the highest quality Arabica coffees to fine dining establishments, independent coffee shops, and local grocers. Estate’s single origin and specialty boutique coffee blends are roasted using only the best high-grown Arabica coffees. Estate, like CVCRC, is known for the company’s micro-roaster, artisan-style approach to coffee, that wholesale customers have come to love.

“I take delight in knowing Dean, Janet and the team at CVCRC are local to the Monterey Peninsula and will provide excellent customer service. I believe the quality of Estate’s coffee will not be compromised,” said Anna Amodo, prior owner of Estate Coffee & Tea. “They will add a dimension that will benefit the brand and its customers. I wish them well.”

Dean and Janet’s first priority will be personal sit-downs with each of Estate’s wholesale customers to ensure a seamless transition. Over time, the McAthies hope to develop Estate’s budding network of small, ultra-premium coffee growers to bring an all-new flavor palate to the Peninsula’s coffee lovers. They will also explore developing a premium wholesale line of loose leaf teas.
